Today's churches are often in turmoil, reducing mission budgets as part of an effort to cut expenses. If a church is healthy, they may provide a small amount of financial support for the missionary, which is, on average, only about 5% of the annual budget needed by todays' missionaries.

Before a missionary can enter the field of their calling, there are many steps that must be completed. These requirements are most often the case if the missionaries are formally trained or sent by a national missions organization:

Become debt free

Resign from their employment

Leave their families and church

Enter (and pay for) a formal training program for up to 2 years

Raise their first years' annual support prior to deployment
